The Weinstein Company has confirmed Deadline’s scoop about it forming a VOD venture and naming Tom Quinn and Jason Janego to run it. The deal will certainly focus attention on the emergence of VOD as a lifeline to movies that either don’t have the commercial premise or the starpower for a wide theatrical release.

EXCLUSIVE: The Toronto Film Festival doesn’t start for a couple of days, but already I hear there are some surprises in store. Sources tell me that The Weinstein Company is finalizing plans to launch a new video-on-demand division. I’ve heard that Harvey Weinstein is finishing a deal to bring aboard Tom Quinn and Jason Janego , both of whom were integral in building the VOD business of Magnolia Pictures. How this factors into the way that TWC does business at Toronto will be very interesting. From last Toronto to the 2011 Sundance Film Festival and the Cannes Film Festival in May, TWC has been the most prolific distributor acquiring films. While TWC got in the game very early on last year’s Best Picture Oscar winner The King’s Speech , much of TWC’s upcoming awards-season slate — from The Artist to The Iron Lady , The Wettest County in the World and W.E. — were all festival acquisitions. Those films were bought for competitive acquisition prices with P&A … [Read more...] about Toronto Film Festival Surprise: Harvey Weinstein To Start VOD Division

Madonna appeared on The Tonight Show to chat with host Jimmy Fallon about her career and took the opportunity to reimagine her 2000 single “Music” with classroom instruments. Performing with Fallon and the Roots , Madonna gave the pop song a surprisingly club-ready vibe. The pop singer played a triangle while Fallon kept the beat on a wooden block as the Roots shared in the backing vocals. During her interview with Fallon, Madonna discussed her wardrobe mishap at the first MTV Video Music Awards and revealed that she would be a schoolteacher if she wasn’t a singer. “I’d have a very popular class,” she told Fallon. “It would be controversial. It would be challenging. I’d probably end up in jail.” The singer also confirmed that the artist she most wants to collaborate with in the future is Kendrick Lamar . “His new record is, like, history-making,” she said. “Mind-booglingly brilliant, yeah. It’s insane. So talented.” Earlier this month, Madonna joined forces with … [Read more...] about Madonna Joins Jimmy Fallon, The Roots to Perform ‘Music’ With Classroom Instruments
